EA Sports has been one of the pioneers of sports entertainment gaming. Spanning across many genres including Football, NFL, NHL, Tennis, Fishing, Snowboarding, Boxing and many many more.
Now with a partnership that looks like it was written in the bright lights of the octagon since Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) started there has now been a move into Mixed Martial Arts. Even though EA Sports had a previous MMA title that focused on another league called “Strike Force” (before that was bought out by UFC) which was successful, but not as successful as this new synergy will seem to be.
The Fight Night boxing franchise was hugely popular due to its graphics engine and playability which has now been incorporated into the game play of EA Sports UFC. The game offers some unique characters (such as Bruce Lee!!) that you can climb the ranks to UFC glory. This is the most complex true to life fighting simulation in the world so far.
